Autoconf 2.60a on UnixWare 7.1.4

[Tim Rice]

I got an opportunity to test 2.60a on UnixWare 7.1.4.
I got 1 unexpected failure I didn't get on 2.60
....
168: AC_ARG_PROGRAM                                FAILED (acgeneral.at:13)
....

Full details from "env TESTSUITEFLAGS='-v -d -x 168' gmake -e check" in
the attached .tgz file

-----< snip from testsuite.log >-------

--------< snip from test 168's config.status >-------
# Find out whether ``test -x'' works.  Don't use a zero-byte file, as
# systems may use methods other than mode bits to determine executability.
cat >conf$$.file <<_ASEOF
#! /bin/sh
exit 0
SESEOF
chmod +x conf$$.file
if test -x conf$$.file >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  as_executable_p="test -x"
else
  as_executable_p=:
fi
rm -f conf$$.file
----------------------

I have no idea why SESEOF is there instead of _ASEOF
I had updated to m4-1.4.6 so just to make sure it wasn't a m4-1.4.6
problem, I went back to m4-1.4.4 and re-tested. Same problem.
